Reviews well planning, rig system, BOP, well control and well completion. It will give the students to get prominent knowledge in drilling.

A drilling rig is a machine that creates holes in the earth sub-surface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures like housing equipments used to drill water, oil wells or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to move manually by one person and are called augers. Drilling rigs can be sample sub-surface mineral deposits, test rock, soil and ground water physical properties and can be used to instal sub-surface fabrications, such as underground utilities, instrumentation, tunnels or wells. Drilling rigs can be mobile equipments mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers or more permanent land or marine based structures. The term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex equipment that is used to penetrate the surface of the Earth Crust.
